Answer:

$17,835.90

Explanation:

Currently Hodgkiss is operating at 92% of its fixed asset capacity, so they have an spare 8% to grow without adding any more fixed assets: ($780,000 / 92) x 100 = $847,826.09.

So they need to add fix assets in to increase its production by $32,173.91 (= $880,000 - $847,826.09).

Every dollar spent in fixed assets generates at full capacity $1.8039 in production output (= $847,826 / $470,000).

If they want to increase production by $32,174, they will need to spend $17,835.90 in fixed assets.

Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His
Alinara [238K]

Answer: $132,000

Explanation:

Oscar's new basis on the building will be the basis of the old building plus any additional investment he added.

This is the because there is no gain on the $140,000 he received because it was an Involuntary Conversion amount and he reinvested it into another building within a period of 2 years.

As there is no gain, the building will retain it's original basis but will add any amount outside the involuntary replacement cost of the building.

The Additional basis will be,

= Cost of building - Insurance

= 142,000 - 140,000

= $2,000

The Basis for the new building is,

= 130,000 + 2,000

= $132,000

Explain the nature of mergers and acquisitions and the reasons why they may be used as a form of strategy development.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Mergers and acquisitions consist of either joining two or more firms, or having one firm acquire another firm.

The rationale behind a merger or acquisiton is always strategic: a merger or an acquisition is carried out with the goal of improving the economic position and performance of the firms involved.

Some business strategies that can be implemented by a merger or acquisition are:

  • Horizontal integration: companies that sell similar products merge in order to join forces and expand their market reach.
  • Vertical integration: companies in the same industry, but that sell different products (for example, one company sells cars and the other sells bikes) merge in order to expand their market share.
  • Conglomerate formation: companies in different industries join in order to expand their markets even more.
